“Summary - You have an 8 AM lecture with a guy who also has no idea what’s going on. You agree to make a Google Doc together to try to make some sense of the class but end up flirting with each other more than comparing notes.

Warnings - I’m posting this from my hotel room so sorry if something is messed up I’m doing this from my mobile app

“It’s 6:55. I bet he forgot,” you say to your roommate. She’s on the edge of her bed, painting her toenails, while you’re pacing around the room.

“No, he didn’t. He’s just trying not to look over eager,” She says, still focused on her pedicure.

You sigh dramatically, plopping down on your bed and scrolling through Instagram. You’d been ready since about 6:30, so your roommate has heard your concern countless times. You start scrolling through Intstagram to pass the time until you hear a knock on your door.

“One sec!” you yell, shutting off your phone and flashing a nervous smile at your roommate.

“Hey,” you greet Ethan as you slip out the door.

“Hey, what’s up?” he asks.

“Not much. Where do you wanna study?” you question.

“Library?” he suggests, and you agree.

You and Ethan make small talk as he leads you across campus. When you get there, you find a secluded corner in the basement where the two of you can talk without being interrupted.

Dropping his backpack on the floor, he asks, “Okay, so what should we start with?”

“Oh, can we check the differences between multivariate distributions? I can’t seem to figure them out,” you say as you take a seat next to him. You’re trying hard to stay cool, but you’re freaking out a little on the inside. He’s just so damn cute.

“Oh, yeah, I remember being confused by that, too. Do you wanna look in the book while I check the Google Doc?” he asks. You nod in reply, pulling your textbook out of your bag as he retrieves his laptop.

By the time the two of you finish studying, it’s past nine o’clock.

“Oh my God, have we really been studying for two hours?” You ask Ethan incredulously.

“Yeah, I guess so. I say we wrap it up for the night. Not much else we can do besides hope and pray,” he responds, and you chuckle. You gather your things and head out the door. As you’re walking home, you pass Ethan’s dorm hall. You slow down, expecting him to part ways with you, but he doesn’t.

“Aren’t you going home?” you ask him.

“No, I’m walking you home,” he declares, briefly glancing at you before looking ahead.

“Thanks, Ethan,” you say and he just shrugs. While you walk, you talk to him about college, mostly about classes. You find out that he’s a digital media major.

“I dunno,
I just really like making videos,” he says.

“What do you like about it?”

“I just think it’s a really cool way to convey ideas and emotions and stuff, you know? Like, you can say so much in just a five minute video. It would be really cool to make full-length films one day, but I’m not even close - I’m sorry, this must be so boring,” he laughs, looking down.

“No, it’s really cool. I feel the same way, to be honest. I’ve just never gotten into it,” you confess.

“Thanks,” he smiles, “I could teach you some basic stuff, if you want.”

“I’d love that,” you respond, trying not to grin from ear-to-ear.

Soon, you reach the door to your building. You turn to Ethan, smiling. “Thanks again for walking me back,” you say.

“It’s not a problem, really,” he insists. “You’re good from here, right?” You nod, and he says, “Okay, goodnight, Y/N.” He leans in, placing a quick kiss on your cheek, and before you can respond, he turns and walks away, leaving you to wonder what the hell that meant.

Test day came and went. You and Ethan both got A’s on the test, which meant that your joint study effort was paying off. However, it didn’t last for long.

Once the two of you became more comfortable around each other, you
found yourselves becoming more easily distracted when trying to take notes together . Thanks to the
chat option, Ethan found a way to discreetly joke around with you during class. The first
time he messaged you in class, you weren’t expecting it. You looked at Ethan confusedly
when you saw the notification on your screen, wondering why he didn’t just lean over and talk to you in person. Open it, he mouthed, so you did.

Dr. Morgan is looking hella fine in that sweater vest amirite

You had to clap a hand over your mouth to refrain from laughing
out loud. You look over at him helplessly, and quickly tap out a response:

I’m more distracted by his pants. His ass is looking tight in
those khakis

This time, Ethan is the one struggling to contain his laughter.

The two of you spent the rest of the class messaging each other, not only joking around but even getting to know each other. No matter how much you tried to deny it, you knew you were developing serious feelings for this boy.

More than two-thirds of voters, or 68%, say transgender people should be able to serve in the military, according to the poll. What’s more, 55% of voters in military households said transgender people should be able to serve.

The only group to oppose transgender military service members are Republicans, who say by a margin of 60% to 32% that transgender people shouldn’t be able to serve.

“Voters say a soldier is a soldier, no matter what his/her gender identity is,” Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac poll, said in a news release. “Voters say, ‘Let them serve.’” Read more.(8/3/2017 1:01 PM)

55. It’s just you and me tonight. I was thinking we could have a little fun.

Your home had not been this silent in years.

Most days it was full of the shared squeals and giggles coming from your three-year-old daughter Matilda and one-year-old son Elliot, and while you adored listening to the pattering of their little feet and the vast stories that their imaginations could create, you were beyond thankful that JJ had offered to have them stay the night at her house to allow you and Spencer some alone time.

While picking up the remainders of Elliott’s pre-dinner snack, you heard the familiar sound of a key opening the front door, signaling that Spencer was home for the night.

“I’m home!” Spencer called out dramatically from the doorway, expecting to be bombarded by the two tiny bodies that greeted him every night.

“In the kitchen!” you called back, biting your lip to contain a giggle that came from imagining the confusion that had to have been etched on his face.

Discarding his bag and keys along the way, Spencer made his way to the kitchen where he found only you.

“Where are the kids?” he asked, his eyebrows furrowed just as you had expected.

“Aunt JJ invited them over for a sleepover with Henry and Michael” you explained while making your way over to him and wrapping your arms around his neck.

“Oh really,” Spencer was quick to catch onto the sultry tone in your voice, grabbing you by the waist and pulling you closer to him.

Humming in agreement, you trailed your lips up his neck, “It’s just you and me tonight. I was thinking we could have a little fun.”

Not wasting any time, Spencer eagerly pressed his lips to yours. Your hands threaded through his hair while Spencer gently pushed you against the kitchen counter top, breaking the kiss only briefly to gently lift you up and sit you on top of it.

Cursing under your breath, you wrapped your legs around Spencer’s waist, wanting him directly against your body, “Remind me to thank her later.”

Spencer removed your legs from his waist, causing a whimper to leave your lips before watching him drop to his knees infront of you and place his hands on the waist band of your shorts, “Just as long as you thank me first, baby girl.”
